The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has retrieved the nearly decomposed body of a young woman from a septic tank at Sunyani Magazine in the Bono Region

The operation took place on Friday, February 28, 2025, after a distress call was received at 5:30 pm.

A team from the Sunyani Municipal Fire Station, led by Station Officer Yahaya and later joined by Regional Operations Officer DO II Noekor, swiftly responded to the scene.

Preliminary reports indicate that the victim was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend and dumped into the septic tank approximately three weeks ago.

The suspect has since been arrested, while the police have taken custody of the body to aid further investigations.
